Persistance of Vision

The multi-billion dollar international television and film industry would not be possible without an inherent developmental flaw found in the brain of every single human being, including you. I know that was a harsh way to tell you that you are inherently flawed but I thought you should know sooner or later.

This flaw is called the “persistence of vision” and causes our brain to mesh consecutive images together instead of seeing them separately as they really are. When our eyes transmit a signal to our brain, that image is held onto in our brains milliseconds longer than the actual signal is present. What that means is when we have two images presented before our eyes in a fast enough progression we will see the images as one fluid motion.

A Biblical History of Funk and Soul

Nobody can escape the Funk, it attacks everybody like a ninja assassin in the night when you least expect it.

Now I am not talking about the style of music played by James Brown or Earth Wind and Fire that is known for repetitive bass lines and using the word “fat” to describe things in a good way. Nor am I talking about the Funk that happens in your pits after trying to work out a New Year’s resolution to get in shape, though that kind of funk could easily be compared to a deadly ninja assassin as well.
